Using semi-structured interviews with irregular migrants from Pakistan undertaking perilous journeys to Europe, this research makes two major contributions to the literatures on extreme contexts and sensebreaking. First, we develop two temporal modes of sensebreaking: sensebreaking with the past and sensebreaking with the future. We reveal the role of liminal spaces in sensebreaking and explain why sensebreaking needs to be reconceptualized as an inherently protracted, often indeterminate, process. Second, we uncover the triggers and drivers of sensebreaking in extreme contexts. We identify two states that precipitate sensebreaking, derealization and disorientation. We theorize the ways in which they are triggered by emotional and physical disruptions and their role in sustaining sensebreaking over time. We also explicate how temporal irregularities, particularly time contortion and time appropriation, influence the development of sensebreaking in extreme contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"62 3","pages":"1153-1190"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13174","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143769969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We identify three forms of identity work that act as self-reinforcing mechanisms of this path dependence: <i>polarizing</i>, <i>normalizing</i>, and <i>cynical coping</i>.

Our findings develop a theoretical model of how social-symbolic work changes place objects through a process involving <i>dislodging functionality</i> of how a place is actually used, <i>inscribing liminality</i>, and <i>consolidating coherence</i> across new function, new symbolic meaning and reconstructed materiality at a fixed geographic location.

However, such enterprises typically lack the leverage to influence mainstream businesses. We investigate to what extent their abundant social resources might enable them to remedy this weakness to some extent. Taking a practice-based perspective, we conduct an ethnographic case study of a social enterprise's collaborative relationships. We discover a collaboration process grounded in social purpose: If a social enterprise's underlying normative aspiration is to put ‘purpose before profit’ and it practices ‘purpose work’, its partners may conversely engage in ‘purpose borrowing’, which involves actions espousing the social enterprise's purpose even if they go against business common sense. We advance research on hybrid organizations by explaining how social enterprises can exert a significant degree of influence on their business partners thanks to their inherent social resources, which are more diverse and powerful than assumed so far. Furthermore, we contribute to inter-organizational collaboration research by identifying a new mode of relational governance founded on social purpose that goes beyond the established modes based on legitimacy, trust, and reciprocity.</p>","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"62 6","pages":"2207-2240"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13167","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144811124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In established fields, conflicting social interests can be integrated by challenging dominant commercial positions and rallying powerful actors. However, creating new fields without established actors and coordination mechanisms is more complex, especially when interests conflict. We explore this challenge through the development of reusable containers for takeaway food and beverages, where incompatible perspectives initially led to a field impasse. A pioneering social enterprise blending commercial and social interests emerged as a referent, facilitating collaboration and breaking the impasse. After initial field organizing succeeded, regulatory changes and increased demand exposed the shortcomings of early solutions, leading to setbacks. New social enterprises developed solutions to fill supply–demand gaps, anchoring new models in a market and driving both standardization and innovation. We introduce the concept of ‘social enterprise referents’ to highlight their essential role in organizing nascent fields to address complex societal issues. Without these referents, models for building new fields struggle to take hold. Successfully transitioning from an underorganized to an organized field requires sustained efforts from multiple social enterprise referents to anchor solutions in a market and uphold collaboration with field actors.</p>","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"62 6","pages":"2302-2328"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13169","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144809292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
